Landscaping in Markham, Ontario
Local design-build landscaping for homeowners and businesses across Unionville, Cornell, Berczy Village, Markham Village, Cathedraltown, and every neighbourhood in between.
Ramada Landscaping Services is headquartered right here in Markham, at 153 Decast Crescent — not commuting in from another municipality to quote a job and disappear. That proximity shapes how we work. Our crews and trucks are already in the neighbourhood, which means faster site visits, tighter scheduling around Markham's weather windows, and a working knowledge of the clay-heavy soil, drainage patterns, and frost depth that decide whether a hardscape installation lasts twenty years or heaves apart after two winters.
Markham is not one landscape. A backyard in Unionville's heritage streets calls for a different approach than a new-build lot in Cornell or a mature property in Cathedraltown, and we've built enough of each to know the difference before we show up with a shovel.
Local Knowledge That Shows Up in the Work
Markham sits on a mix of clay loam and glacial till that drains poorly without proper grading — a detail that trips up landscapers who aren't familiar with the region. Every interlocking driveway, patio, or retaining wall we install starts with a compacted granular base engineered for this soil, not a generic spec pulled from a manual. We also build to the City of Markham's permit and setback requirements for fencing, decks, and grading, so projects move through inspection without the delays that come from guessing at bylaws we haven't actually worked under.
That local footprint also means we're never far away. A same-day site visit, a mid-project question answered in person rather than over a scheduling app, a crew that can swing back to check on a new sod install during a dry spell — these are the advantages of a landscaping company that actually lives where it works.
Markham Neighbourhoods We Serve
From heritage streetscapes to new-build subdivisions, we've landscaped across every corner of Markham.
Unionville
Heritage lots and mature tree cover call for landscaping that respects the character of the neighbourhood — natural stone interlocking, period-appropriate fencing, and garden beds designed around established trees rather than against them.
Cornell
Cornell's newer builds and smaller lot sizes are ideal for efficient, high-impact hardscaping — compact patios, artificial turf for low-maintenance yards, and irrigation systems sized correctly from day one.
Berczy Village
A family-dense community where we see a lot of backyard renovations built for entertaining and play — durable turf, fencing for pool and play area safety, and outdoor lighting for evening use.
Markham Village
Established properties near the historic core often need drainage correction and retaining wall work alongside cosmetic upgrades — we handle both the structural and the visible in one project.
Cathedraltown
Larger executive lots in Cathedraltown are where our full-scope backyard transformations tend to land — interlocking, lighting, irrigation, and planting designed and sequenced as one cohesive project.
...and the rest of Markham
Thornhill Woods, Milliken, Angus Glen, Box Grove, Wismer — if it's a Markham address, it's in our service area. Reach out and we'll confirm coverage for your specific street.

Markham Landscaping FAQ
Do you serve all Markham neighbourhoods, or just certain areas?
We serve all of Markham, including Unionville, Cornell, Berczy Village, Markham Village, Cathedraltown, Thornhill Woods, Milliken, Angus Glen, Box Grove, and Wismer. Since we're based in Markham, most properties are a short drive from our yard on Decast Crescent.
Do I need a permit for interlocking or a fence in Markham?
It depends on the scope, height, and location of the work relative to your property line. We handle the permit application process for jobs that require one, and we design every project to meet the City of Markham's current setback and grading requirements from the start.
What time of year is best to start a landscaping project in Markham?
Spring and fall are ideal for sod installation and planting, while interlocking, fencing, and irrigation can generally be installed any time the ground isn't frozen, from April through late October. We book several weeks out in peak season, so earlier planning gets you your preferred install date.
Do you offer snow removal for Markham properties in the winter?
Yes. We run seasonal snow removal contracts for both residential driveways and commercial lots across Markham, with guaranteed response times and salt application included.
